Malnourished peasants vs malnourished government property

It's rigged there's 120 Chinese to 90 French :)

The real winner is Brettonian Peasant Archer, because they have the lady on their side.

3 Losses out of 90 and they run. Truer frenchmen were never seen

Bretonnian Archer: "This is the 10th time i killed that guy"

But for their faction the Bretonian peasant archer is actually pretty good. There incredibly cheap and if used well can get a lot of damage done.

Skaven slave slingers have left the chat

Wait till they drink some of that sweet bath water

They’re the worst if you look at their stats and nothing else. But if you consider their cost-effectiveness and their role within their factions both of these units are actually more than servicable.

I hate how clean and even dressed the peasants are compared to the bowmen

The blood effects are embarrassing. They went from 'sensible' to 'justifying DLC'.

Brettonia is cavalery specialist race.. Grand cathay is ranged one.. Of course cathay win.. Their archer almost match elven one

I hate how projectiles move in slow motion in this game.

Cathay: "What's that thundering sound?" *Bretonnian cavalry:*

Bro peasant archers shooting fire arrows does wonders vs the vampire counts zombies.

bretonnia archers are really good actually, also with the blessing

Does anyone else hate arrows being like that and 100 liters of blood spilled with an arrow

The incline and the start delay though 🗿

Bretonnia archers are not even close to worst Lmao some of the best starter archers.

I feel like bretonnia needs a longbow unit

> loses 3 men > runs CA's dedication to a realistic representation of the french is astounding.

Truth is I have had Bretonnian Peasnt archers pull my ass out of the fire more times than i can count.

what adds insult to injury here is that at least Cathay has crossbowmen to upgrade to. meanwhile Bretonnia literally has nothing else.

The vergin cathayan archer vs the Chad bretonnian

To be fair we have to consider what faction they belong to, they are brettonias only archer units which by default makes them good, especially since they are dirt cheap and have good range for their quality. Pitting two units against each other like this is just not a likely scenario to ever happen.

The battle it's won since the army that is shooting first is receiving damage after shooting

Other comments are sufficient here but I'd like to also mention Peasant Bowmen with poison, which can be quite nice even against the most powerful foes.

Peasant bowmen were actually quite good for their cost in tabletop. They done them injustice.

The worst archers are the empire ones, bretonnian are actually pretty good

I really like the shoulder pads of those Cathay pissant archers will the breto pissant archers look like old women I'm skirts

Love some bret. Peasant archers. Run away at the slightest provocation, but always there for some OK damage if you keep them safe.

Both units go home alive with arrows sticking on them

Warhammer III is an ultimate game where we finally can answer the question, what is worse: feudalism or communism?

Man the quality of the outfits. Brettonia truly is the most Knightly of factions.

If this doesn't represent the absolute state of missile units in total war nothing will. Cool video though. It'd be cool to see more

That 2004 voice is draining as hell

Bro was this medieval can you feel my heart playing in the background

I feel like Empire Archers must be worse

I'd argue Empire Archers or Goblin Archers are worse mostly because of their low range. Bretonnian Archers are a staple and an auto include.

Is that the honest trailer voice guy wtf

Do Ungor raiders not exists in TWW3?

Maybe... Maybe... But now lets see when there are 540 of them behind a wall of grail knights.

I find peasant archers to be quite useful

Give ‘em flaming arrows and vampires will disagree with their uselessness

Average Cathay peasant archers fan vs average Bretonnian peasant bowmen enjoyer

We've lost a man lads, there's only 99 of us left! Run away!

If you take cost and usefulness in to account peasant bowman are wonderful in campaign

Remembr that the peasant bowmen have useful variants

Buffed Bretonnian Archers are a decent cheap missile unit to hold units in place whilst the Knights do the lady’s work

Guts spilling out * FIRE AT WILL 😂

In their defense.. their advantage was they could be mobilized very easily. Every rando village could have send a handful of peasant archers that are more than decent. The brits could simply field more of them

“BESMIRCH MY PEOPLE DO YOU?!” Wamuudes

According to TOW Bretonnia should have armed squire as higher tier ranged unit, so there would probably be a round 2 between armed squire and Jade crossbowmen.

thats why i use a mod for more elite bretonnian archers

Man! The developers really hate Bretonnia. I remember seeing my grail knights loose to some savage boar big uns and thinking: « what’s the point? » worse infantry, bad artillery, average cavalry average heroes. Onl redeemable thing are their flying units. Why did they have to do the coolest faction dirty like that?

This is like rigged hobo boxing

I legitimately got into an argument with someone over stats regarding worst units. One of my buddies played Lizardmen but said skinks suck; I told him that skinks are cheaper than most units, have a lower cost up keep, have excellent ambush and mobility stats, and if you run them right Skinks are line breakers. He said I was wrong; I told him, next time you run a battle, try actually flanking enemies with skinks and watch how fast they fall apart. If you level them up enough with their buffs they deploy outside the standard deployment zone, that's ALL skink variants. Don't underestimate Bretonian Peasant units; if they get buffs and bonuses they can be murderous and dangerous, especially if they just need to hold a line long enough for a flanking attack by knights and foot soldiers.

Cathay still win Bretonnia in the department of better welfare and well trained farmer award.

They real killer is the blood pack. Jesus that looked awful

The brets killed more than the other and lost less

We making it out the fields with this one

Thankfully they are still one of the best because what they support is some of the strongest frontline and Calvary in the game.

Don’t forget Cathayan peasant archers will also get harmony bonuses in most typical situations. I’m honestly surprised Brettonia lost this without harmony but I guess the leadership speaks for itself

I'm amazed they didn't route one the first draw 😂

My gosh! These men packed a lot of blood!

Whats sad is that Peasant Archers, specially with Pox Upgrade, are actually *really* good archers..... as long as a breeze isn't coming at them. they certainly out dps Peasants and may be even jade crossbows.

Brettonia seriously needs a update after CA is done with thrones of decay. They havnt really changed since the first game.

Lol the blood explosions are ridiculous in this game XD you don't bleed like that when shot with an arrow

Cathay pesant archers are actually decent if you get high ground to hit a opponents flanks

Shouldve gave them longbows oh well peasants are expendable. -Bretonnian Knight

Bretonnia Poison Bows debuff slaps though

“fuck bretonnia” -pancreasnowork

Bretonian archer doomstacks were obscene in 2 so thats a shame.

Can you feel my archeeerrrrr~

Lol, the blood effects are just...

They certainly bleed a lot

Skelleton bowmen giggle in the distance

But if you get the fire variant you can do some funny stuff to the tree men

According to the lore the bretonian longbowman is actually suppose to be a pretty good unit. This saddens be greatly.

Best bowmen is dragon tail goblin archer 20 stack, simply because explosions are cool

3 volleys and they like, nope 🤣

Part of it is what basis you're comparing on. Unit for unit? Cost for cost? Upkeep for upkeep? I'd wager that equivalent-upkeep comparisons of Peasant Bowmen would actually have them do pretty well against most other archers.

Those "paid to" blood effects are really over the top, kills immersion

One of the best archers in the game, cheap long, long range, poison

I know medieval 2 is older, and it looks more dated, but I still prefer the combat in that, to this. Medieval just feels like there's more weight amd realism. It feels like people are getting ripped apart by arrows, this feels like they're throwing paper balls at each other. The units feel a lot less alive too. Idk, I'm not sure what they did, but it's worse.

Always thought it would be goblin archer or some units from tomb of kings

Beastmen archers luckily got overlooked this is how shitty they are. Otherwise, they'd lose this competition

They make up in numbers.

The pox arrows one for the price might be one of the best in the game

I mean, they're peasants, it's not like they're actually getting paid to fight

Goblin archers? Orc arrer boys? Kossars?

Tomb king archer, they have 1 armor piercing

the best commanders use the worse and turn them to the best.

To a faction that relies on there peasants, I can't believe there bad

The peasants don’t even look like peasants

I always assumed orcs were worst archers. Can't aim for shit and keep snapping the bow strings

Britonian's take 3 loses before they conclude the nothing they're getting payed isn't worth this.

Thats Stuff people could tell you already beforehand, because the Cathay Unit is Bigger, which means more Arrows which means more Damage Output. Aside from that, there is a certain degree of Randomness to TW Games...so only let 1 Unit Fight is not a Big enought Sample Size, you should use 10 vs 10 or so and see how it ends up in 1v1 Fights.

Aight we gon talk about the music lmao

Nothing like watching poor people fight.
